Quietly and efficiently, Bill Camelio’s girls golf team is off to a 5-0 start this spring. While Camelio readily admits his squad has not gotten into the difficult part of its schedule, he claims last week’s victory over Hingham establishes his duffers as legit.

“We have a number of really good teams on the docket, but we are improving to the point where I think we will hold our own against anyone,” said Camelio. “This is a very balanced group that has risen to the occasion when they needed to.”

One of those occasions occurred a week ago Wednesday, when BHS downed the Harbormen from Hingham by the score of 4-2. The match, played at the South Shore Country Club, went back and forth all afternoon. It turned out to be the Warriors making the tough shots down the stretch to swing the match in their favor.

“Generally, the schools from the South Shore have good teams,” said Camelio. “We play Hingham again and have a match scheduled with Notre Dame of Hingham as well, so those will be real challenges for us.”

Thus far, BHS been paced by seniors Lauren Rhode and Johanna Dolle, who have for the most part teamed with junior Liz Yorra to form a top three for the Warriors.

The rest of the lineup can vary from match to match. Seniors Dasha Batelle, Lana Morgenstern, Bailey Mannix, Alex Carter (junior), along with sophomores Sarah Svirsky, Suzannah Friscia, combine with freshman Minhye Kim to round out the 10-girl roster.

“We use the best six scores, and each match there seems to be a different name that jumps in there,” said Camelio. “This group has some real talent and although we will graduate some good players, I believe we are pretty well set for the long term.”

An added opportunity for Rhode, Dolle and Yorra will come next Monday at Newton’s Woodlawn Country Club, where they have qualified to compete in the MIAA Individual Championship against the best players in the area.

“The girls have banded together to form a real close-knit team, said Camelio. “They are very motivated and want to play a good round of golf each time out. These girls have a lot of pride in their game.”

In addition to the two Hingham schools, Camelio also mentioned Mt. Alvernia, Fontbonne Academy and Boston Latin as tough matches coming up on the BHS schedule.
